DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

The kitchen is by no means the least
important part of the house, since any
thing which affects this department
will directly or indirectly have its in
fiuence on the rest of the home. There
fore its c0nvenienCes should first be
looked to. even though other depart
ments must suffer thereby. Servants
spend most of their lives in the kitch-
en-, and if without help the housewife
must Of necessity spend at least two
thirds of her time there, so let us have
sunny. cheerful kitchens. Many house
keepers labor under the mistaken idea
that whitewash and the various kalso-
mines are good for cleansing and puri-
flying walls. They only cover up one
growth of impurities and furnish
growth for another. The plaStered
walls and ceilings Of a kitchen should
be painted with oil and lead paint
They can then be washed with hot
soapSuds.
There is nothing of greater conve-
nience in the kitchen than a sink with
hot and cold water, but this sink is
often much neglected IL should fire.

soda. and occasionally pour down the
pipes a pail of hot suds with a tea
spoonful Of potash dissolved in il. This
will eat away the grease which collects
in the pipes, and which, II left there,
will cause sewer gas.
A very unhealthy practice is the
keeping Of pots and pans IN the closet

or less sewer gas escaping through the
pipes which run through this closet. il
